When we entered college at EvCC we took an economics course using Paul Samuelson's textbook, under a teacher {local bank president who had, sadly, graduated from MooU, aka WSU} who brought in the morning newspaper to explain, each day, why at least one story had "economic implications" as described in the text. After graduating from UWa with a dual degree in Econ & PoliSci, then law, and then the US Army - "They" said: to save you from the Godless Communists in Vietnam, we returned to teach the beginning macro & micro econ courses - using the same technique as my first econ teacher. Each and every class find and explain a current event/story in economic terms in/from the text. Blogging before [y]our times.
